- Today we are back at the well house to fix the badly broken and rotting deck to the front of the building. The substructure has rotted and some of the deck board have become dangerous so we will replace them and install a new substructure without removing the top deck.

Howdy Simon- I can fully understand what it’s like doing the very best you can on a tight budget. People nowadays seem to be more interested in getting the most money out of people than really trying to help them. Your good deeds of helping others doesn’t go unnoticed. You’re a good man, Simon. This old world needs more folks like you. God’s blessings to y’all
Hello Paul, your so kind, thank you. Having been on both sides of customer budgets this way is harder and often less satisfying in physical results. However; the human impact is greater than some can imagine and in this instance it is about a man and his family making memories. Have a great weekend my friend.
As I Have Said Many Times Before You Are A Kind a Generous Man Who Helps Many People You Do The Best For Them Under The
Cumstances That's What You Call a Brilliant Friend Not All About Money I No If You Can Help Anyone You Will No Job To Big Or Small
I Hope You a Your Wonderful Family Are Well a Happy a Casper Please Take Care More Videos Please
Hi Blue, thank you and have a great weekend.
Hello Simon. Hope all is well friend. Just sat down to eat tuna sandwiches and take a break. Trying to get our granddaughters 500 pumkin plants we started in the ground. It's so dry here I'm afraid many won't make it but must do something. Well on with the show. Get some rest and sleep my friend.Thanks for sharing. Take care, God bless.
I know Father's day isnt til November for you there, but it's tomorrow here so Happy Father's day my friend!
Hello Sara 👋
500 Pumpkins plants Michael, lets hope some of them produce I cannot imagine what Pumpkins are going to cost to buy this year. Happy Fathers day my friend, enjoy the family I am sure you will be eating well today.
Thanks Simon, great job and you are a dream and memory maker to this family. Take care.
Thanks, you too Mark
Looks great Simon you do a hell of a job as always! Thanks for the vid have a great weekend you Three.
Thanks, you too Brad
"Would have, should have, could have.." Yep.. heard those phrases a few times..and never bothered listening🤪 To this day, not one single iota of the things I've built using nothing but what I had available, has come down or rotted away... and the the mix you're treating the timber with outperforms much of the stuff used today to pressure treat wood👌I often use a mix of used motor oil, turpentine and boiled linseed oil. It lasts for years and years even under ground. I'd say that's a job well done my friend👍 All the best to you and yours🙂Have a great weekend!
A man that knows, love it and a huge thank you for all your supportive and constructive comments I really appreciate it.
Hi Simon and family.your neighbours are very lucky to have you because your resourceful and knowledgeable that always helps.comments are like belly buttons every body got one ❤😊😊😊
LOL so true Scott, thank you and have a great weekend.
Great job Simon.
Thank you.
Very nicely done sir!
Thank you kindly!
Looks good Simon 👍
Thank you.
Hello sir
thaks to your video I took a tour around my house and found few spots to maintinance.
You made good job and clouds are this year regular guests on our skies.
so call "climate experts" told us about weather without rain and no driking water.
I think they dont know much about weather.
so have a nice and peaceful weekend
greetings from Slovenia EU
Thank you, now you will be busy. Your name suggests you know more about the experts than they know about anything and this is good! Enjoy your maintenance, do play some good music while you work.
@@arctic-rebel
thanks sir
greetings
Another solid hard days work. An added benefit of the coating on the new boards is it reminds the customer how good it could look if he let you do all of it :)
Thank you, it will need oiling if it is going to survive. It is taking on water like a sponge right now.
You're a good man Simon! Hope you receive enough odd jobs to survive! Thanks
I hope so too
Good job, well done.
Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.
That look good.
Thank you Peggy
Bra jobbat Simon 😀👍🏻
Tack
Thank you for the video, i miss doing this kind of jobs with my father.. Be safe and if you go to fish on that beautiful lake ..make a video!
Opps, just been fishing and didn't take my camera! It is still to early for the fish and didn't catch anyway. Thanks have a great weekend.
Nice work Simon we ain't all rich folks
Thanks, many of us are not.
🤠👍👍
Hey Simon i know your on a micro budget but if the customer can spring for deck wash no power sprayer a little scrubbing to get any mold or other things off the deck and rinsing let dry and apply stain will help it last longer just a thought . Your a good man sir . Awesome video.
Well done, cannot even imagine why I didn't think of that. It does need oil badly but I have a pressure washer and the correct end for cleaning decks and floors. I wonder if the new well pump can supply the washer. Only one way to find out. Thanks for jogging my brain!
@@arctic-rebel no problem but if you use a pressure washer min 2 weeks before you can oil as the pressure washer penitrates the wood deep and it need that time to dry out , now deck wash with hose and scrub brush need s only a day or two to dry so its a time thing your choice lol. Be well my friend until the next video peace out.
At least the deck is at a good height to save your back? Crawling under deck! Fun lol
That is true Dave, the crawling is all part of the adventure-not.
Another great vid sir... your showing how to do a job with an open mind.... 🙂 wish there were more people resourceful as yourself in this world.. stay safe 🏴
So nice of you. Thank you, I am always learning.
At least you will be bringing back more people to live in the village. It might prompt others to come there. Don’t worry about the joist,rafter thing,I do the same thing. Anyone that’s been with you for a while, know you know the difference. The deck repair is reasonable considering the budget but are the steps bad? Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !
Thanks Kirby, you are correct it will be more back to the village and children is something we really need here. The steps are not bad, I think they have been replaced more recently it was just the hand rails that were bad. Have a great weekend.
Hi Si another great video , you make the work so easy on film but a lot of hard work it is I'm sure scenery is lovely.👍 Question will you ever be able to sort out your generator?
amongst all your other jobs.
Thanks Ash, I am amazed you are the first person to ask. Huge update coming video in progress but have not go so far as to know if it will work or not.
Nice job! Looks very good. The owner should definitely opt for a whole porch roof. Your wood sav concoction is interesting. Is your family there yet?
Thank you, lets hope so. Very soon.
Hi Simon, the community around you must be lucky to have a man like you, who can fix and rebuild anything much cheaper than companies do. But I see you use boiled ineseed oil to paint on the logs, will that last for many years? I use impregnated pine when I build terresse and other things outside. It is much more expencive than the way you do. Greetings from Norway, hilsen Asle
Thank you, impregnated with what? I have also used it but as you say very expensive. There are so many very old buildings here and they have survived with 2 treatments. The first is red oxide as you know our houses are red for a reason. The by products from the mines, thus the red. The 2nd is boiled linseed oil. Used by itself it does not penetrate as well as I want so I add terps or any thinner to take it further into the timber. Then some solvent basted end grain sealer and finally some colour. I do this based on my knowledge of the structure of all grow timber both softwood and hard wood. More specifically what happens when a tree is cut and starts to dry. If you can keep an air flow and water out it will last for very many years. It also looks better then the green dye.
@@arctic-rebel thank you for your reply. When I say "impregnated I mean that green stuff they impregnate pinewood with, under high pressure. They used to use copper but I'm not sure if the use that anymore. The best thing is what they use on railroad ties, creosot, but it is highly toxic and not good for the environment. Old Norwegian stave churches are built with something they call heartwood pine, it is a pinetree full of resin and tar...and will last very long. But maybe boiled lineseed oil and thinner also will do the job. I must try :) Much cheaper.
Simon... you should have........ gone fishing!!😁😁
Whilst you were watching me, I WAS fishing LOL. Back now thanks AJ.
@@arctic-rebel Great! Good to know! I'm trusting the freezer is filling up!!👍👍
